Yahoo! in China: Rising tide of anger
A New York Times article by Tom Zeller Jr., via The International Herald Tribune, reports that:
It is bad enough when newspaper editorials, Western human rights groups and ordinary customers condemn your company for bowing to the Chinese dictatorship and contributing to oppression.
But when the outrage begins rising, at great personal risk, from dissident voices trapped inside that dictatorship, well, that has to hurt.
Or does it?
Yahoo has suffered a good deal of opprobrium since it was revealed last month that, when government officials came calling, the company's Hong Kong division simply surrendered information on a Chinese citizen who had presumably sought refuge, anonymity and a bit of freedom in the bosom of a Yahoo e-mail address: huoyan1989@yahoo.com.cn.
